Restoration crews have been working through the weekend, achieving the fastest restoration in the company’s history, according to CenterPoint Energy. CenterPoint Energy has deployed crews, equipment, and mobile generation solutions to areas with significant structural damage and localized outages.

“Our crews are doing extraordinary work in neighborhoods across Greater Houston and have continued to accelerate restoration despite challenging conditions as thunderstorms rolled through Houston late yesterday,” said Lynnae Wilson, Senior Vice President of Electric Business in a press release. “Looking ahead, we know those customers who are not yet restored are counting on us, and we are committed to working until we get their lights back on.”
